Schlitz, L. A., & Byrd, R. (2007). Good masters! Sweet Ladies!: voices from a medieval village. Cambridge, Mass.: Candlewick Press.
A story told in poem form about the life and occupations in medievil times. The words may be hard for students to understand, but there are side bars with explanations on each page. Readers will learn about medieval times, the people, and jobs they had. Not an easy read for students. I don't see a student picking this up as a pleasure read.
Schlitz writes the story in poetry using vocabulary from medieval times. The dialogue and vocabulary are wonderful and accurate, but may be hard for younger readers to comprehend. This book should be read in class or discussed after each independent read.
